KRUG, THE p0lsONER.
Another Added to the List of
Victims.
No Insurance in this Case, But
Hatred.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The poisoning
OF another woman-making fivein all
is tonight alleged against Lawrence
Krug, who lies in the county Jail sus-
pected of numbering his three wives,
and a step daughter. The supposed
fifth victim is Gunda Schoephaner, the
pretty 10 year old daughter of
Krug's first wife's sister. Af-
ter much consultation Gunda's
friends and relatives today decided to
ask an investigation by the county
physician. According to their state
ments Gunda was a close companion
Of her unfortunate cousin, Lucy
!leldelmyer. the step daughter whose
death caused the arrest of Krug. AT
the funerals which attended Krug's
successive widowhood Gunda was pres
ent, as beftted near relative,
and each time she, like Lucy Heidle-
myer, was shocked by proposals of
marriage from Krug, even before the
services over the dead were completed.
The proposals were made in the pres
ence of numerous witnesses. After
the first advances. Gunda made no
effort to conceal her aversion
for Krug, but continued to main
tain her companionship with
Lucy. About the time of Lucy's
death. Gunda fell i'll with a similar
complaint, and although given the best
medical aid her mysterious ailment is
yet unconquered. While she has raj
lied somewhat during the past few
days, the girl is in critical condition.
Her friends express the belief
that Krug poisoned her out
Of pure malice in revenge for the undis-
guised contempt with which she treated
him. Krug's other four victims had
assigned their life insurance to him,
but IN Gunda's case no mercenary mo-
tive is apparent. DR.. Geifeldt, who has
been in attendance upon Gunda, de-
clines to talk upon the matter.

Lac,art and Honey. Wha, isit.

little while ago the general public began to
hear more or less about Lactart and Honey cure
was stirred in regard to it. The of the
preparation appears to have been remarkable, for it
now appears TO have place in the stock of nearly
every live druggist
The secret of its efficiency is really very simple for
Lactari (the pure acid of milk is CON bned in
tain proportions with honey, and together they form
a preparation that has wonderful curative power.
People have always used sweet and a sour, some
form, in combination. as cure for coughs hoarse-
FORE throat but nothing equal to Lactart
and Honey has yer before been devised.
The soothing and ealing qualities OF honey are
united with lie mucus dissoving power of Lactart,
and the result is simply charming success. Lac
tart and Horel has 20 agreeable taste that it is
certain to become widely popular wherever it is
tried and liz healing virtues rested.
